I simply love training my legs and today it is going to be one.. a Hard One Infact!
Yeah I know how a lot of people specially men hate to train their legs but legs being the largest muscle group, you need to work them out without a miss and that too with great intensity.
Working these bigger muscles requires more energy, which means your body will been burning more calories.
Plus the lower body strength reduces the risk of injury, your balance improves, you will be able to run faster and for longer durations, you will have an increased metabolism, an increased range of motions with superhero efficiencies for everyday tasks - damn! Do you steemians need more reasons to not miss a leg day?? Hell NO!!
And for ladies out there.. who doesn't need a great butt.. haha .. so just stop thinking and go kill it..
So, here is my schedule for today (ofcourse after some warmup and the much needed dynamic stretches)
I generally tend to go for 4-5 sets of any exercise with increasing weights and decreasing rep rate. Glutes training could be an exception here as those are some really stubborn muscles and require more reps each set.
--- Quad Dominant --------
Back Squat -
I am still trying to increase my one rep max its currently 57kgOverhead Walking Lunges
Prefer to have a plate overhead.. works out my complete bodyHorizontal Leg Press
Really targets your glutes along. I find it a better version against the incline one. My One rep max : 140Kg
---- Inner thighs -----
- Goblet Sumo Squats -
Recently started with the goblet style. I use a dumbbell of upto 20kg
--- Hams -----
Reverse Hamstring Curl
Great variation over the seated ham curlSingle Leg Deadlift
This is my fav! I do it with dumbbells. It sores my hams for over a day
----Glutes------
Weighted Kickbacks
I love kickbacks. I keep finding variations in them. Today i will use the pulley machineHip Thrust
Gals you need to do this for sure .. My one rep max 68kg
----Calf------
- Standing Barbell Calf Raises
So, yes this is going to be pretty much my workout for today.. I am already impatiently waiting to commence my workout.. haha
Great Day to all! Go guys hit the gym!
I'm starting to love leg days as my legs definitely need the most attention compared to other areas. I started doing globe squats with a 20 lb weight, just 12 reps with 3 sets. Wow, I am so sore now. I'm determined to sculpt beautiful, sexy, strong legs!!

I thought you would appreciate it. I was looking for a photo of Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine. There is a behind the scenes image that shows how skinny his legs were. I guess he would have worked them better if they had more camera time!

Leg day is a mysterious day that most beginner lifters don't know about. The more expreienced lifters only include leg day for the simple fact that they don't want to be featured on the next "never skip leg day "

@manilaagg Generally most of the people don't like Legday Training. Even when I have started Gym I hate doing leg exercise because of after effect (We walk like ZOMBIE) but It's really important to have Balanced Workout of Upperbody and Lowerbody as well.
Good Going Keep it up. You have now a new Follower.

@manilagg i agree with you, when i was in the gym i skip leg day. because i have very bad experience, but when you have a very motivated trainer. he always told me it's last time you skip leg day next you will skip i'll not give you training and that time i always told him bro yes that's my last day, next time i'll give my best. i'm missing my gym training days. thanks for sharing beautiful experience which reminds me my gym days.
